Associated Parts Get Whiter!

well after about 54 hours of soaking in the 3% hydrogen peroxide solution under a uv light here is the final outcome. the pictures do not do these parts justice at all. the parts have came out wonderfully and i am proud to say that this method has been a complete success.

now i just have to do all the rest of the parts.

Giving New Life To Old Yellowed Associated Parts

LowClassCC — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 13:30:17 +0000

well i have been doing some experimenting on how to get those old yellowed associated parts lighter in color. i have figured it out.

after cleaning the parts (i use lysol kitchen and bathroom cleaner) place them in a glass jar. fill the jar with common 3% hydrogen peroxide (the stuff in the brown bottle) so that the parts are all under the solution. now ether sit the jar out in the sun or under a uv light. let sit for as long as needed to lighten the parts.

now the white team associated parts were never a true white. so this will not make them that way. it will only lighten the parts so much. it will not remove color from dyed parts. well here are some pics showing the differences side by side. this was after a 4 hour treatment.
